The article concerning the brave act of this elderly man (photo above), who saved lives and prevented serious trauma of Christmas shoppers at the Greenacres Shopping Center, was also carried by the Herald Newspaper, (more to follow). Single handedly he fought off three armed black men who staged an attempted break in of a jewellers across from the Father Christmas stand, where many small children and mothers were busy having photos taken.
Without a thought for his own life and despite the criminals being heavily armed he prevented the robbery and gave chase even outside the complex, in the process injuring his hands. This man showed the necessary resistance to the masses of crime for which we are truly thankful. Many shoppers have lost their lives to marauding gangs armed with AK47's and other weaponry, and everyone should continue to be vigilant at all times to the real possibility of an attack. We thank this good gentleman for his courage and care for other citizens.
